Quantum computers may slam into hard architectural walls long before they can crack the encryption protecting online banking, ...

A small mathematical revision to quantum mechanics could effectively limit the purported infinite capacities of quantum ...

Someday, somebody, somewhere will likely have a quantum computer capable of cracking the fragile codes that underpin every piece of data we exchange over the internet. We don’t know when. It could be ...

Imagine a world where the locks protecting your most sensitive information—your financial records, medical history, or even national security secrets—can be effortlessly picked. This is the looming ...

Two scientists just won computing's Nobel Prize for an idea from 1984: use quantum mechanics to make eavesdropping physically ...

Lost in the debate over if, or when, a quantum computer will decipher encryption models is the need for post-quantum cryptography (PQC) to become part of organizations' tech stacks and zero-trust ...

Nation-states and malicious actors are collecting encrypted data so they can read it with future quantum computers. These ...

MIAMI (March 2, 2026) - As artificial intelligence fuels a surge in convincing deepfakes and quantum computing advances toward real-world use, Florida International University (FIU) researchers have ...

The amount of quantum computing power needed to crack a common data encryption technique has been reduced tenfold. This makes the encryption method even more vulnerable to quantum computers, which may ...

By Cade Metz Cade Metz has reported on quantum technologies since the 1990s. In the mid-1980s, Charles Bennett and Gilles ...

Today, threat actors are quietly collecting data, waiting for the day when that information can be cracked with future technology.

Charles Bennett and Gilles Brassard were recognized for their foundational work in quantum information science.
